    Question On Rem 700 By Gordy Gritters

    Friend Marty, The 40Ballistic is absolutely incredible in the .223 Ackley. I've done critters up to and including blacktail bucks with the 40 and it does the job very, very well. Karen just grabs the butcher bag and sez, ""Let's go butcher, Stevie." I like that. Blessings to you...

    Question On Rem 700 By Gordy Gritters

    Hi Guys, I just bumped into this thread. Gordy is absolutely one of the finest gunsmiths alive today. I own three of his rifles and they are absolute hummers. Advice to the original post: Shoot the rifle and you will fall in love. I prefer 40Ballistics with H-335 and find that it will...

    Hunting & Fishing Why Guns and Ammo HATES the .308

    Damn, Pat, are you still shooting dinks? :grin: I was a gun writer for a little over twenty-five years. There are gun writers who are the real deal, like Johnny Barsness and Chub Eastman. Then, there are gun writers who should probably never be allowed to shoot, much less write about their...

    45 years ago, what were you doing.

    FNG here ... Used to be a gun writer. 45 years ago my bride and I had been married for four years; we stuck with it and will celebrate our 49th in a few days. At that time, I was working my butt off in a gun store that I managed, taking my last few classes at Portland State University and...

    New Member From Western North Carolina

    Hi Joe, I joined in 2007, but never got around to posting. Obviously, I'm another refugee from the 24HCF and I sincerely pray that this will be my new home. My reception has been very cordial, so things are looking good. It will take us a while to use the unfamiliar web site, but it...

    Sizing after pulling bullets

    Jack, Yep, that will work and I've done it lots of times. Just pull the decapping pin and you'll be fine. HOWEVER, be sure to lube the cases a bit ... just because they've previously been full-length sized doesn't mean that they won't stick. You'll be fine. Oh a little addendum to the...

    Sizing after pulling bullets

    I wrote for Handloader, The Rifle, Guns & Ammo and the last fifteen years for Varmint Hunter Magazine ... plus the lead-ins in almost all of the Nosler Manuals. Handloading has been an integral part of my life. One thing a writer needs for an article is "the hook." At one time, I thought I...

    Sizing after pulling bullets

    I wrote about handloading for about twenty five years and have loaded literally hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition. Yes, after pulling bullets, you need to neck-size your cases. There is no need to full-length size, just deal with the necks. This will give you consistent neck...

    Which .223 die set to use

    Kevin Thomas knows his stuff. Trust his advice. I'm a FNG here, but was a gun writer for about 25-years. I wrote for Varmint Hunter Magazine for the last fifteen years of my career and worked with Kevin helped me out with lots of Sierra bullets over the years. God Bless, Steve

    Got my AR15, now what?!

    I'm a FNG here, but I was a gun writer for twenty-five years and have popped a few caps. First, shoot the crap out of your new AR and just plain enjoy. After learning the system, you will start to "need" things ... my advice is to think long and hard about each new change. Obviously, a...
